Card Game Simple Storage Idea

Keeping card games in good shape isn't always easy. When the kids are in hurry, it doesn't take long for cards to get bent whilst being crammed into a drawer, or lost along the way. Here is a very simple, dirt cheap organization trick for keeping card games in top condition . . .
Store them in a clean plastic soap travel box. These are boxes are available at dollar stores (usually 3/$1.) as well as in the health and beauty sections of most big box stores, like Walmart and Target. It will hold 2 decks of cards at once.

If your kids are still small, soap boxes work great for crayons as well.

Neat idea. The kids always shove our cards into a drawer and they get bent up, or we end up finding half of them in the cupboard because they've fallen out the back of the drawer. I picked up a few of these yesterday at the dollar store and have all of our cards put away now. It works great up to a double deck (Uno!).

Great idea!!! I have so MANY card games that I use one of those over the door shoe organizers with pockets. You can clearly see what cards are available and keeps them all together.

Another great idea! I don't have many card games anymore but I can see this being extremely useful, especially to use when camping to keep games together.. Another bonus is these are at the $ stores so it's not an outrageous cost!

I had not thought of using the smaller boxes - I have one big plastic hinge top box (about 10 X 10 inches) to keep all the dice, pencils etc., in so they don't get lost, but I really like the idea for the cards - we have so many decks around the house and the boxes the come in get torn so quickly

When I was young, my mother and grandmother always used rubber bands, so when I moved to my own place, I continued this, but I always thought there must be a better way. Rubber bands deteriorate and become stuck to the cards. As an adult, I rarely have any reason to use the cards (that's how I know that rubber bands deteriorate (LOL!) However, it's always nice to be able to pull out a deck of cards when a guest comes to stay for a few days, to give us something different to do. I am definitely going to use this idea! Thank you for sharing it!
